A promising premise undone by predictable execution
The Free Press Journal|November 30, 2024
The title Divorce Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega suggests a tantalizing premise-something noirish, audacious, or at least unconventional. Instead, the seven-episode series delivers a tepid rom-com that never quite fulfills its potential. For a show ostensibly about daring escapades and marital mishaps, it's puzzlingly timid, meandering into a predictable love story that feels more stale than sensational.

A promising premise undone by predictable execution

The story follows two competitive news anchors, Nikhat Kothari (Abigail Pande) and Ashutosh Chawla (Rishabh Chadha), as they vie for the coveted prime-time news slot at India Buzz TV. Their professional rivalry escalates when they're tasked with investigating a marriage court scam, a mission that sees them go undercover at a marriage bureau. A paperwork glitch leads to their accidental marriage, setting the stage for a supposedly uproarious attempt to divorce-a plotline that, naturally, pivots into the predictable trope of frenemies-turned-lovers.
